[MiNT] USB support in 1-19-cur (EtherNat)



Hi

Recently i got my Ethernat up and running under 1-18-1 (based on a µMiNT
that i updated to more recent kernel and XaAES).

Now i wanted that for 1-19-cur, too.

To start with a clean canvas, i deleted my old 1-19-cur folder and made
it new with the files from trunk. Nice! The Ethernat finally connects me
to internet now, even under most recent MiNT.

Into the c:/mint/1-19-cur/usb folder i've put:

loader.prg
storage.udd
usb060.km
ethernat.ucd


The USB loads the kernel module (run c:/mint/1-19-cur/usb/loader.prg
line was added to mint.cnf) and i can access the content of a USB
mass storage device that was connected at boot.

If i connect it after boot, no "new USB device" message pops up like
i was used to with MiNT 1-18-1.

If i connect a USB Mouse i get that expected message, but the system is
slowed down extremely. The USB mouse can move the mousecursor every 5s
and the system is unable to react to doubleclicks. In case the mouse is
connected at boot time, system is slowed down too, boot to desktop needs
several minutes then.


Under 1-18-1 there is no mouse.udd, but the storage.udd works much
better. I can plug and unplug USB storage and will always get the
messages and access to the storage.

Its possible i did setup something wrong way - i found no info about
USB in the wiki.

I guess USB is quite new and not thoroughly tested yet...

Is the setup okay, should it have worked? Is the mouse driver even
thought to be usable with EtherNat?
